2008 NAHBS Bike

2008 NAHBS show bike - curved tubes and butterflies!Is it a bike or a piece of art. I will vote for both! Straight tubes aren't a challenge for the Roark guys.700c wheel shown in the background. This bike is very small with 16Roark cutout and custom dropouts seamlessly mated to the stays.Custom titanium chain guard with a satin finish.Custom titanium tubular crank arm with a high polish finish.This was a nightmare to fabricate and miter! This frame design creates a low stand over height.Another fabrication challengeButterflies everywhere!100_2467.JPGCustom billet aluminum wheelsWhat's that inside the wheel?Ah yes - a 9 speed internally geard SRAM Imotion hub.This bike is for kids - a coaster brake keeps it simple and clean. The highly polished wheels give you a view of the backside of the mount.100_2438.JPGCustom titanium fork with a few details.Sycip style fork constructionCustom titanium stem with a high polish finish. Hey Kevin - nice welds aren't you glad we didn't paint it!A standard saddle just wouldn't do the job.The lucky owners have names.100_2431.JPG100_2453.JPG

My Roark after getting me up the Puig Major, the highest peak on Mallorca, training ground of Jan Ullrich. - Steve McKeeverSimms-litehouse.jpgI love my Roark! A few minutes after the first photo was taken, it took me down Teton Pass as if it were on rails - way over the speed limit. Rock solid but still incredibly responsive!
